Ok so this is the first time Im really posting about this. Back in Novemeber, about 2 days after I got my car painted, I backed out of my driveway and into a flatbed tractor trailer. Its a long story but basically he wasnt supposed to be parked there, and I couldnt see the flatbed part because it was so low, and there was a Mexican driving a bobcat with a bunch of rebarb in my way. So pretty much I backed up too far and hit the thing. It cracked a hole in my tailight and made a nice gash in my fiberglass bumper. If you look closely to the left in the picture you can see like a white line. Thats the only pic I could find of it.

I also backed into a curb last August after driving for hours and being extremely tired. I destroyed my muffler, lol. You can also see how its pointing downwards in that pic.
Well yesterday, thanks to HKC, I was finally able to replace the muffler. What a difference! I also fixed the gash a little bit with some touch up paint. It needs to be filled in and sanded down the right way, but for the time being it looks ok. You can only see the gash if youre standing right next to the car.
I also got me a set of F2 Evolution emblems from Screwdriver. I put them on, I like where I put them but I am considering moving them to the left side. What do you guys think? Heres a pic of my rear, Im really starting to love it!

crack in tailight/gash:


other than that the car survived winter pretty well. I just need some new mesh grille in the front bumper and I'll be set. Finally I can bring my car to some shows this summer, Ive spent the past 2 summers with jacked up cars, LOL

Pat I'm sure she opens the trunk from inside LOL lmao.gif owned.gif If you can't you have a problem. LOL
Also I would concider moving the F2 eblem on the left hand side because on the right hand side theres to much there with the keyhole. It would be a bit more noticable on the left hand side. Thats my opinion.

Awww, that car is so sexy. I really like the F2 badge too. It has to go on the other side though. Just too much going on there on the right side.
In all honesty it's too bad you couldn't have filled that keyhole in. It sucks that it doesn't line up. Mine didn't either. SUCKS!!!!
But no matter the car looks sweet. Love the colour. Lots of sexy lady tib threads today. mmmmmm lovely.....
